The A70 Abduction
On the night of 17 August 1992 two men driving the A70 towards Tarbrax in South Lanarkshire said they passed under a disc hovering above the road and arrived more than two hours late. Hypnotic regression months later produced memories of beings examining them, and sceptics point to the regression itself. This is the record of what two men reported, not a verdict on what was over the road.
